A Good Safe Used Car Value

5 Sp Aero; My 4th Saab, 3rd Aero. Bought used on ebay w/43K miles and saved big. Now at 110K, even came with a 3 yr warranty. Car has been trouble free for the most part, stranded me once when gas line broke which was later part of a recall. I can't suggest buying new as Saab's depreciate like a rock. Easily get +31 MPG & +500 per tank during mostly highway miles. In the winter these cars really rock especially with 16" Toyo winters. This is one of the best FWD Sport Utility Vehicles out there!

I got my 9/5 Aero about 3 month ago and im loving it so far. No mechanical problems at all.Driving 100 mph in the Saab is like diving 40 in other cars. It handles very vell and is comfortable to sit in for longer trips. There is so much power in this thing you can toy around traffic with all the power you want and precision steering.

Great car. One year old now and no service calls at all. Great pick-up from 0-60, even better from 40-60. I have never had a car with such passing power. Roomy & comfortable. Good in rain & snow. Heated seats work better than in other cars I have had. Has ventilated seats that cool you in the summer! This car does everything well. Anyone considering an Audi, BMW or Benz should look at this car 1st.

Love my car. Love it so much. The manual transmission is a blast to drive, especially downshifting to 4th to kick in that turbo. Sturdy and safe and comfy for me (5'4) and hubby (6'2) and our family. We couldn't be happier!

EXCEPTIONAL CAR

The longer I have the car the more I love it. The car is extremely solid and does everything well. Very powerful, love the turbo sound. Gets great gas mileage, I get between 22-25 on average. The 9-5 is a complete tank in the snow, very sure footed. This is the first vehicle I feel safe in. After visiting a salvage yard and seeing wrecked SAABs, I know the car will protect me almost better than anything on the market. Some 9-5s have had problems, mine however has been absolutely problem free for over 28,000 miles. Coming from a person who keeps cars for 2 years or less, I hope to have this one for at least 200,000 miles. Good warranty.
